Operations
The Old Colony and Newport Railway is the only tourist railroad operation in New England that operates year-round.
The Old Colony and Newport Railway operates two revenue trains on Sundays, one leaving downtown Newport at 11:45AM, and another at 1:45PM. It is an 80 minute, 9 mile round trip up the NSL along the Narragansett Bay from Newport to Middletown, Rhode Island and Portsmouth, Rhode Island. It is a beautifully scenic ride, touted as "The Million Dollar View."
The OC&N also runs charters. See their website for details.
The OC&N runs work trains to the north end of the NSL where the Sakonnet River railway bridge used to be. The OCN ran 4 public tourist trains to Anthony Road, Portsmouth in 2011. Due to their popularity, they now run on a semi-monthly basis.
